    Watch Bright in 3 days time when it premiers? Looks silly, or completely BA. Not sure which way it's gonna go. . . but I'm excited.

    When you have access to post production fixes, it makes it difficult to build true suspense through use of more traditional special effects (tricks and hiding to create "the unknown". The Exorcist will forever be ingrained in my mind due to how much build-up there was.

    Hey gang. Just got back from my honeymoon in New Zealand. Loved it. 3 weeks of fast-paced bliss and adventuring. A lot of nature photos taken for source materials and I feel rejuvenated to tackle 3D projects again. :D

  • The Olympics Committee officially opens to eSport

    There is still a very real chance for "violent" video games in Olympics however. Keep in mind that many sports (e.g., archery, skeet shooting, bi-athlon, wrestling, boxing, etc . . .) are in-fact violent. It is a matter of application and acceptability though. The question becomes what constitutes too much violence for the mandated purposes of the Olympics (international cooperation and peaceful competition). I think what is likely to happen will be games with very high skill ceilings and excitement (e.g., RTS's like Starcraft or realistic racing games [although how this compares to actual racing I don't know]) and team games that are not overly-gorey (e.g., LoL or Dota) would be likely candidates whereas first person shooters are less likely to be approved by the committee due to their inherent "promotion" of violence (particularly those with high-gore/violence).

    Oh, and the one that no one was getting is "Charlie Wilson's War" starring Tom Hanks as Congressman Charlie Wilson in the 1980's. I hadn't looked at the thread in a while, got it on the first pic. :(

Our professor is at the head of Disney Research (director or vice director I don't remember)(Markus Gross). If you have an email adress I could give him to contact Allegorithmic, that would be super helpful!

    I have a computer vision class as well where they could talk about the techniques they can use to extract normal maps from 2d image for instance.

    Alternatively it could be awesome for them to come at forums both at ETHZ and French engineering schools (I can put the company in contact with CentraleSupelec where I was studying before going into an exchange degree)

    I don't know. I don't work for them or with them. I'm sure Wes's email is probably available (he does a lot of the tutorial videos) and he could probably help in hooking you up.

    This is great @laminutederire! If you can, you should suggest to your professor that they invite someone from Allegorithmic to come speak to you (they have an office in Paris) as they are doing a lot of R&D at the moment on materials, lighting, etc . . . in efforts to simplify workflows using automation and/or AI.

    Havn't posted in a while. Just working on a nice ol Mk. 2 Fragmentation Grenade. Next step is some minor cleanup, baking (below is not a bake), then texturing, then rigging. Don't know what else to do with it - no project in mind.
